Is Ryan Lochte Lying About Rio Robbery?

I truly believe that he is lying, just make an obviously mine is pure speculation. But it seems that the taxicab driver does not confirm at all Ryan Lochte version of the facts, it is a matter of fact that the taxi driver said that the group of three athletes asked him where they could purchase, well whatever you know what I’m talking about. The Drivers to then to a location where they could purchase that thing and after a dispute on the price the sellers pointed a gun at the three athletes.

No one has been detained because the swim team moved out of the village after their competition ended, so we were not able to make the athletes available, that’s what the police were told when they reached the Olympic Village asking to speak to Ryan Lochte and another swimming athlete, apparently they had left the country overnight most probably to avoid being detained and questioned in Brazil and as we quite know an investigation in a country like Brazil could take months.

However Lochte confirmed his testimony: “We got pulled over, in the taxi, and these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge and they pulled us over,” Lochte said. “They pulled out their guns, they told the other swimmers to get down on the ground — they got down on the ground. I refused, I was like we didn’t do anything wrong, so — I’m not getting down on the ground. And then the guy pulled out his gun, he cocked it, put it to my forehead and he said, ‘Get down,’ and I put my hands up, I was like ‘whatever.’ He took our money, he took my wallet — he left my cell phone, he left my credentials.”

You see, the reason that I supplies and have douts that this may have been a robbery, is that they left their cell phones, they let this for but they talk their wallet, one thing that many of you might not know, is that an American passport on the black market is worth up to $25,000, so they would take your wallet that had $500 in its but they would leave an American passport behind, something does not connect here.

What ever, the back safe and sound in the United States of America now!

Not that I had any doubts, but: Bolt is now history in Rio with third successive Olympics 100m gold medal

The 6-foot-5 sprinter overcame his typically slow unfurling from the blocks, gradually worked up speed, caught American Justin Gatlin with 40 metres left and was celebrating – pointing at his chest with his thumb – before he crossed the finish line. He even took the time to look both to his right and left to ensure that no one was trying to take that gold off him.

Bolt beat Gatlin, who was greeted by the fans with raucous boos due to his past of doping, by .08 seconds. Andre de Grasse of Canada won the bronze.

“I’m happy and I’m proud of myself. It wasn’t perfect execution, but I’m proud of myself. I wanted to set myself apart from everybody else and this is the Olympics, I have to do it.

“I came to this Olympics to win three gold medals, to prove myself again as one of the greats.”

The Water turns green at the Olympic diving pool

That issue took center stage on Tuesday when the Olympic diving pool that was crystal blue for men’s events on Monday had turned unsettlingly murky and green overnight.

The drastic change has left athletes, Olympic organizers, the media and spectators around the world befuddled. When asked about the change, one Olympic official told a reporter, “it wasn’t green this morning.”

So, in a matter of 4 hours the water turned green and no one can give an answer on what happened. I’ll tell you one thing: I would not swim in that water until they actually figured out what caused this to happen!!

So how many of you are watching the Olympics in Rio?

let me start quoting that I did not like that much the opening ceremony, don’t get me wrong, it was a great ceremony, but it was below expectations after seeing that of London four years ago and four years before that the opening ceremony in Beijing.

The game started off with a flying start with the USA bringing home the first gold medal awarded in the Olympics, then we saw Australia and surprisingly Italy takes us over in the awarded medals, I truly did admire the Italians in the fencing events, they basically pick up nearly all the metals and from what I see they are doing exceptionally well also swimming.

It is said that the United States of America will have to compete against China for who will bring home the most medals possible, however my going through all the different sporting events I definitely see the United States in predictions way ahead of China, and because there are so many disqualified Russian athletes I truly believe that the US and China will pick up a lot more medals than predicted.

One event that I find very interesting is the women’s rugby, it’s amazing how women actually practice this sport giving and taking beatings all along, also women’s soccer should be full of surprises considering that the United States actually did succeed quite a bit against France and Germany managed to draw only at the last minute against Australia.

Unfortunately two tourists have already been killed and many other month and injured during these first days of the games, from what I understand from what I read on the New York Times, there are 27,000 law enforcement officers that are walking the streets of Rio de Janeiro doing everything they can to protect the friends that have reached the Brazilian capital for the games.

Go team USA!!
